“I remember when we played in Asbury Park’s Convention Hall in 1967,” Noone said while calling from his Santa Barbara, Calif., home. “I loved The Who and they opened for us. After the show (Who drummer) Keith Moon and I found a back door that led right out to the end of the pier. We stripped down to our underwear and just jumped in the ocean. Fortunately, it was deep enough that we went under and we swam to shore and we missed the crowds. We walked off the beach right to the Holiday Inn.”

Don’t expect Noone to engage in similar antics when he and Herman’s Hermits perform Saturday at the Sellersville Theater.

However, you can prepare for an avalanche of hits when Herman’s Hermits reaches the stage. The distinguished band, which recorded a number of hits such as “Mrs. Brown You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter,” “I’m Into Something Good” and “There’s a Kind of Hush,” were major players in the British Invasion.

“That meant we played America often,” Noone said. “We owned the record for most fans at the Steel Pier. We beat Ricky Nelson’s record.”

After giving the Beatles a run for its money during the mid-’60s, Herman’s Hermits, who sold more records than any band in America in 1965, called it a day in 1971.

“It was time to move on,” Noone said. “When I left the band I was younger than the Beatles were before they peaked. I was just 23.”

But it was time for Noone to move on to other projects but he returned to Herman’s Hermits.

“It’s great fun,” Noone said. “It’s still a wonderful time.”

Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone is slated for Saturday at the Sellersville Theater, 24 West Temple ave., Sellersville. Tickets are $45 & $60. Show time is 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.
